IDERA SQL Safe Backup enhances reliability, reduces costs, and minimizes downtime with efficient data recovery and automated management features.

It is possible to observe ROI with Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery because the costs incurred from paying ransoms or decrypting data will be much higher than the solution price itself, providing customers with confidence in their last line of defense.

Room For Improvement

Enhancing Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery requires AI integration, bundling for SMBs, and core feature improvements for better automation and visibility.

My main problem is with the bare-metal recovery.

Setup Cost

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is seen as cost-effective for enterprises, despite concerns over hardware costs with data growth.

<p>IDERA SQL Safe Backup provides flexible pricing, positive feedback for value, and extensive features to reduce backup time and storage.</p>

I do not consider Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery to be expensive as it provides value relative to the ransom that would need to be paid to restore data and the difficulties faced after an attack.

Pre Sales Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Regarding pricing, I find it a lot cheaper than Veeam.

System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing

The pricing for Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery is acceptable due to our enterprise licensing agreement, so a lot of what we do is built into the license.

Valuable Features

Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery offers secure isolation, analytics, and fast restoration, enhancing IT infrastructure with ransomware protection and VMware integration.

IDERA SQL Safe Backup is praised for its compression, encryption, ease of use, centralized management, automation, detailed reporting, and monitoring.

The main function of cyber recovery, which I find important, is the air gap protection, and that is the most important capability we are using against ransomware protection.

Data Protection Architect at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The second advantage is restoration, as I can guarantee that the data inside the vault will be clean and can be restored quickly using a golden copy that has been identified as clean.

Pre Sales Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

It helps my IT infrastructure be more secure mainly because we have replication of the backups on two physical sites, which is a plus.

Backup and recovery have improved security with VMware integration and faster restore times

System Administrator at De Persgroep Publishing

Before we start, my only question is that we are only using the Data Protection Manager, so not the full suite. The users using the backup solution mainly consist of me and my colleague. We have integrated it into VMware, so users can restore or take backups of their own VMs, but I am not sure how many are using it because the backups are automatic, and for restores, I think some of them are using them. I would certainly recommend this product for the backup of the VMs, but for the bare metal, I recommend it a little bit less. Overall, I give this solution a rating of eight.

It has reduced our backup time, however backups do get skipped

I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client. They moved a lot of the features to their web-based version of it. Because of the large number of databases that we have along with our backup, their web product can't handle it. So, we can't use it. So, we are missing out on a lot of the new features. The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection. Unless you can remember day-to-day that you may have something deselected or selected, your view may be different than you expect, and there is no visual indication of it.
